Ancient of Days
Daniel 7:9-10; 13-14, 21-22, 27: “I was looking until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days was seated. His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like clean wool. From His throne were flames of fire, its wheels burning fire. A stream of fire was flowing and coming forth from His Presence, and a thousand thousands served Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him, the Judge was seated, and the books were opened…I was looking in the night visions and saw One like the Son of Enosh coming with the clouds of the heavens! And He came to the Ancient of Days and they brought Him before Him. And to Him was given the ruler and preciousness and a Kingdom that all peoples, nations and languages should serve Him. His rule is an everlasting rule, which shall not pass away, and His reign that which shall not be destroyed…I was looking and this horn was fighting against the set-apart ones, and was prevailing against them, until the Ancient of Days came and right-ruling was given to the set-apart ones of the Most High, and the time came and the set-apart ones took possession of the Kingdom…And the Kingdom and the rule and the greatness of the kingdoms under all the heavens shall be given to the people, the set-apart ones, of the Most High. His reign is an everlasting reign, and all rulers shall serve and obey Him”.
Revelation 1:12-18: “And I turned to see the voice which spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands, and in the midst of the seven lamp stands One like the Son of Adam, dressed in a robe down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. And His had and hair were white as white wool, as now, and His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet were burnish brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters. And in His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was as the sun shining in it strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead, and he placed His right hand on me saying: `Do not be afraid, I am the first and the last, and the living One. And I became dead and see, I am living forever and ever. Amen. And I possess the keys of the grave and of death’ ”.

Words from a powerful song, sung by Ron Kenoly … “Ancient of Days”
“Blessing and honor, glory and power, be unto the Ancient of Days…
From every nation, all of creation bow before the Ancient of Days
Every tongue in heaven and earth shall declare Your glory
Every knee shall bow at Your throne, in worship
You will be exalted O Yah, and your Kingdom shall not pass away,
O Ancient of Days!
Page 1
Your Kingdom shall reign over all the earth; sing unto the Ancient of Days
None can compare to your matchless worth, sing unto the Ancient of Days
Every tongue on earth shall declare Your glory
Every knee shall bow at Your throne, in worship
You shall be exalted O Yah, and Your kingdom shall not pass away
O Ancient of Days!”

From a vision I had: July 27, 2010:
While driving down the Florida coast--Gulf-side--praying and seeking to hear from Abba, all of a sudden I saw a quick vision of Messiah off to my left--related to Isaiah 59:14-17. I saw Yahushua putting on His High Priestly garments for judgment, and preparing to mount His horse for His ride with Yahuweh’s wrath—Isaiah 63:1-4; Revelation 14:14, and 19:11-16. I heard in my spirit: “I am putting on My garments of vengeance”.
He appeared with snow-white hair, and eyes like flames of fire. The Apostle Yochanan (John) saw Him like that (Revelation 1:12-18) and was shocked. His Friend, whom He knew as the 31-year old Messiah, appeared to him as the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14, 22, 27).
I had not sung that Ron Kenoly song for years, but began singing “Ancient of Days”. Yes, every knee will bow at His feet in worship!
I am hearing more and more that His set-apart ones are being drawn to worship Him, praise Him, adore Him, and submit their lives to Him. HalleluYah!

In my vision, winter 2010, of the five--two dominant witnesses (Eliyahu and Moshe, the two attendants on Mt. Hermon with the Bridegroom--Matthew 17)--and three others, Yochanan the Apostle was among them. The other two were Enoch and Dani’el. I knew who they were by the Spirit, but only talked with Eliyahu. They have all returned at this point to finish their course, as Scripture indicates, to do the work of Yahuweh before that “great and awesome day”. We must all be in our places now, moving forward to complete our course!
As I read the following passage in the first novel of a trilogy by L.A. Marzulli--Nephilim—The Truth is Here (c. 1999), regarding the Apostle Yochanan back on earth now before Messiah returns--I felt waves of chills, because it is more real than not. I have been in the cave where Yochanan received the Revelation on the Isle of Patmos, and I can almost see this happening there.
Pages 437-438: “Thousands of miles away Yochanan knelt in a cave once used as a retreat by Christians in the first century. He was praying. All air in front of
Page 2
the cavern wall began to shimmer. He had seen this countless times but always beheld the phenomena with wonder. He watched as the veil that separates this
world from the world of the spirit opened. A man clothed in brilliant raiment appeared where moments before a cold cavern wall had been. Yochanan bowed his head. `My Master and My Elohim, Ancient of Days’, he proclaimed. `It is almost time’, the shining figure stated. Yochanan slowly lifted his head and gazed into the eyes of His Master. He beheld what, for him, was almost unbearable to witness. A set-apartness righteous and awesome in splendor radiated and burned like a thousand galaxies from the noble face. Yochanan bowed his head again and felt hot tears stream from his eyes and fall to the cavern’s floor. But, these were tears of joy. He felt as if his very being would
burst with the emotion. `Yes, My Master, it is almost time’, he managed to repeat. `You have labored long, faithful one’ and His Master raised His hand and blessed Yochanan. Yochanan felt a surge of joyous energy ripple through his body. `Yes Master, for many decades’. `Soon your tasks will end…and in my Father’s house are many rooms’. For a moment Yochanan thought about the first time he had heard those words, so long mused. He raised his hands in front of him and began to worship”.
Page 439-440: “A powerfully built angel appeared and bowed low to the Ancient of Days, who raised his hand and blessed the emissary of light. `I am ready, Master’ the angel said’. `The time is now’, the Ancient of Days said, and his words echoed like thunder in Yochanan’s ears. `Go swiftly and do My Father’s will’.
Yochanan marveled as he watched the angel disappear in what he could only describe as a chariot of fire. The air around the cavern began to shimmer. ‘It is time for us to depart, faithful one’. `Yes, My Master’ Yochanan said, and he reached out and touched the hem of the Master’s shining garment.”
My note: I took the liberty of changing the names and titles to Hebrew.
Revelation 4:11: “You are worthy O Yahuweh to receive esteem and respect and power, for You have created all, and for Your good pleasure they are and were created.”
Revelation 5:12-13: “…Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and respect and esteem and blessing! And every creature that is in the heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: `To Him sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and respect and esteem and might--forever and ever!”
Praise is the confession of faith! Praise builds bold faith in our spirit. Through praise and worship, we enter into another dimension—the dimension of eternity. Through our re-born spirit we have the ability to enter His realm of eternity, and “sit with Him in heavenly places”. Praise runs off the enemy, and puts a halt to
Page 3
anything the enemy can do. Praise/worship is the most powerful weapon of warfare that we have! This is because it combines the use of His Word (“the sword of the Spirit”) with the speaking of His all-powerful Name, “the word of our own personal testimony”, and oftentimes the languages of angels.
In II Chronicles 20:1-22, we see Judah outnumbered by the hosts of the enemy. But, as King Jehoshaphat sought Yahuweh, Yahuweh told him, through His prophet, to send out the singers before the army. As the singers went out praising Yahuweh, Yahuweh defeated the enemy for them. This is a powerful chapter, with powerful promises and a powerful lesson.
In praise, we remind the enemy of his end--that Yahuweh and Yahushua will rule over the earth forever. We show the enemy that we have not rebelled like he has, that we have an eternity that he lost.
But, praise and worship raises us up into His realm, into His Presence, and there no evil can befall us—for praise hides us in the “secret place of the Most High”.
I’m not talking about fleshly emotional jumpin’ and jivin’, movin’ and grovin’ – getting all worked up in a “song service” or so-called “worship service”. When we really worship Yahuweh our lives change. It is not an emotional experience that is gone when we leave church. I’m talking about really entering into His Presence and being lost in His love, allowing His Spirit to take control. Sometimes His peace is so incredible, we just rest in His love in silence. I’m talking about abandoning “self” and yielding to His Spirit—letting go of all soul-control (intellect control). Sometimes we cry, but always in joy. Joy is a major weapon of warfare that comes when we praise Him! The enemy can do nothing against the joy and peace of the Spirit!
It is in praise and worship that He speaks to us more than ever, where we can receive more deliverance, more instruction, more insight, and more wisdom in a few minutes than we can get in a lifetime of going to meetings to hear some human give out his intellectual knowledge!
Yahushua Yahuweh is coming in the might, power and authority of His Father, as the Ancient of Days, with the wrath of Yahuweh for the rebellious wicked ones, but with deliverance and salvation for His faithful set-apart ones.
“Blessed is He who comes in the Name of Yahuweh!” (Psalm 118:26)
“Fear not little flock, for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom!” (Luke 12:31)
Revelation 11:15-18: “And the seventh angel sounded, and there came to be loud voices in heaven saying: `The Kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of Yahuweh, and of His Messiah, and He shall reign forever and ever!’
And the twenty-two elders sitting before Elohim on their thrones fell on their faces and worshipped Elohim, saying: `We give You thanks O Yahuweh El Shaddai, the One who is, and who was, and who is coming, because You have taken Your great power and reigned’. And the nations were enraged for Your
Page 4
wrath has come, and the time of the dead to be judged and to give the reward
to Your servants the prophets, and to the set-apart ones, and to those who fear Your name, small and great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth”.
“The stone, which the builders reject, has become the chief cornerstone. This is from Yahuweh—it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day Yahuweh has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!” (Psalm 118:22-24)
Abba’s ways are so uncomplicated, even a child can understand. I’ve praised Him in the dance, as the Scriptures say, and with tambourines and other instruments, in song, and shouting of praises. Oh how good it is to praise Him. Please give yourself to the praying and singing of the Psalms, memorize the praise Psalms, like Psalm 96, 97 and 100.
The Chief Cornerstone is coming! Will you be there to see it! Look to the King and Savior, the Redeemer to come--prepare to meet the Ancient of Days!
Love,
Yedidah
